Not sure where the boats are coming from but the Lightning's NA is the same week. They have a well known Lightning class coach giving instructions on practice day. I am training with the local class district commodore with 35 years experience racing Lightning. In fact, I will be crew next weekend in a district regatta. I will continue to train until the event because I am a competitive sort.

In the Gay Games, there will be four 4 people on the boat (don't start; it's been done). I still need two more for my team. Already have one experienced crew so novice are welcomed.
